There were even no partial aaions but those which were unavoidable, between the cavalry of the rear guard of the artily which retreated, , and the cavalry of the advanced guard di . the,atmy which advanced. In this retreat Of the allied army we took 600 pri soners, the greater part of Winch we're loiterers, of WhiCh were English.

The !d corps, terming the left, is at Villa Franca on the Tagus; the- S!lt corps occupies the centre at 'Sobral ; the 6th corps is on the'righr at .6tta and Villanova.

" The EngliSh rule at Lisbon by the effea of terror. Tney treat with harshness and contempt the nobility and the people. They fabricate cohspira c.es, they imprison, they transport, :they, take up ifiose 'POrtoguese who dare to weep over the ruins of country.

THE THEATRES.--,The new Historical, Opera of Gustavus Vasa, which, a.; we have before milked, is brought forwardv.:>ry magnificent style at Covent Garden Theatre, was repe . lted there last night, before a very numerous audience, and very well received. The farce of 41i At , iroild's a St'(' lollowed, and int) oduced Miss BOOTH in the part - of Kitty Sprightly, Which she supported with genuine humour and spirit. During the jovial scene at the table, BLANCHARD, instead of the customary toast, ga‘e " The Kitty, and better health to hiM." It is impossible to describe the loyal enthu&asm which broke forth on this occrsion, and which continued •for several minutes with unabited zeal. It is a ,double gratification to find that so excellent a Mo narch excites the sympathy and receives the.hornage due to hiin, and that .his suhjeCts are so sensible , of his virtues, and,-so cordi..lly prompt to avow their attachment. . • TtiE • LYCEUM.—The play of Deaf and Durn' was,last night tevived at this Theatre. • The Dade_. wont of Wtrounti-ros was originally an • admirahle specimen of acting, and it lost none ofits merit last night.
